'''Swaminathan Sadanand''' (1900–1953) was an [[India]]n journalist.

In 1927 Sadanand started the [[Free Press of India|Free Press of India Agency]],<ref>{{cite book |title=News agencies from pigeon to internet |first=K.

In 1930 Sadanand became founder editor of the English-language ''[[The Free Press Journal]]'' which, according to A. R. Desai, was a strong supporter of the [[Indian National Congress|Indian National Congress's]] (INC) "demand and struggle for independence" from Great Britain.<ref>{{cite book|first=A.

Sadanand never went to college and was a self-taught journalist. J. K. Singh calls him a great journalist but a poor business manager and a "sad failure".<ref>{{cite book|first=J.
